GTA III will more-so go down in history for being the stepping stone (and base game engine) for which GTA Vice City and, subsequently, GTA San Andreas were built. The game marked the start of Rockstar's now renown satirical take of the gangster lifestyle, filled to the brim with violence, sex and debauchery. GTA III was also the first game to offer players the ability to steal a cop car and have sex with a hooker in it. GTA III wasn't particularly well done on the technical front but it made up for it – at the time of its release – with lots of off-the-wall fun. The series graduated from the top-down arcade series that put it on the map and elevated to a full, 3D playground that ushered in a whole new way of playing open-world action games in a virtual space. I mean, let's be honest, this was the first GTA title to lose its virginity to polygons. It's kind of hard not to include this one on the list.
